Export Problem Avid

Hello. I know this is probably a known topic but I never found a good solution for it. When I try to export a Quick time movie file from avid the video is way darker than it should be. Is there a way to fix this issue inside avid or should I use different software? I cannot use squeeze cause I can't afford it as of right now. If there is any other software I could use for exporting how would the roundtrip be? Like what codec or file should I use to export it out of Avid and send it to a software that can export the video without gamma issues.

Re: Export Problem Avid

The Apple codec is notorious for gamma shift. That's why it is always recommended to export as a same-as-source file and then use an outside encoder like Squeeze. I own the Pro version, but doesn't Squeez Lite come bundled with MC?

Re: Export Problem Avid

Hello! I tried using AVI to export but my project is 23.98 fps and the only option the Avi codec gives me is 24, 30, etc.

Also, I tried exporting an AFF file to DaVinci to try exporting from there but the gamma is already shifted! I even relinked to the camera files and the gamma is still shifted! I don't understand what is happening. Also, I tried exporting a quick reference file to media encoder but the program cannot import the reference file! Maybe I'm choosing the wrong settings when I'm exporting. HELP PLEASE!

Re: Export Problem Avid

Encoder used to be great for creating a file out of Avid's quick time reference. Recently it doesn't work any more. I managed to find some settings which worked, but every project I have to research from start.
